I enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club, especially Joyce, but what about Bogdan! He's kind of important to the other books.

I KNOW! I am distressed about that. Not to mention Donna and Bogdan don't actually meet until the 4th book, I think?
I know they had to make changes just to fit the story into a movie but that is egregious. There are other things I am more minorly not happy about, that one requires fixing.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, I enjoyed it, but maybe I remembered too much about the books. They skipped over the priest and nun storyline completely . Which isn't unusual in adaptations, but I enjoyed that diversion in the book.
Still, bring it on with the excellent cast. Sure did clean up Ron.
Additionally, a dear friend from high school was named Bogdan, which, of course, holds him in a special place in my heart.

Oh, I watched with my sister, who hadn't read the books, and she didn't like Elizabeth at all. Understandable, but my opinion of the character is based on so much more.

I haven't read it recently enough to remember a lot of plot points, but I love Bogdan!

The movie did make me want to reread the book, in part because while I felt like stuff was missing I could not remember exactly what in plot terms at least but also because it reminded me how much I like spending time with these characters.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I went to see Hamilton today and was reminded again why we don't ever go to this theater. On the plus side, it has a full menu you can order to a very comfy seat and doesn't require driving over the (toll) bridge and back. On the downside, it is the WORST at being a movie theater. The projection cut off the top and sides (during a closeup in "Wait For It" all we could see was LOJ's jaw because the rest of his face was out of frame) and when I complained and someone went to fix it, the entire thing went out of focus (which was not an improvement).
Hopefully nobody in the theater was seeing it for the first time because UGH.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Huh. Well that is certainly a thing to release the week tens of thousands of people cancelled their Disney accounts and trips and visits and sold their stock.
Not sure it's gonna get me back: looks pretty cheesy.

I cannot tell if that's something I want to see or not. Well, a lot of time to figure that out. Many more chances for Disney to make me not care what they are making, also.
